Engine sputtering while in gear

I have a 95 Sonoma, 2.2 4 cyl engine. I just picked it up used from an old guy that can no longer drive. I replaced plugs, wires, air filter, but still get sputtering and hessitation when I go to drive her. It seems more of a problem in gears 1-3, but is still there in 4th and 5th gear. I plan on changing the fuel filter tomorrow. Is there anything else I should look at as a cause of this problem?

Not sure how long she sat before I got her. I am only the 2nd owner of this truck. The guy I got it from bought it brand new in 1995 for $9,726! I'm getting the fuel filter changed tomorrow, hopefully that will help. If not, what should my next course of action be?
